The New Stack wrote: Torvalds even adds later that “money really isn’t that great of a motivator. It doesn’t pull people together. Having a common project, and really feeling that you really can be a full partner in that project, that motivates people, I think.”
For someone who isn't motivated by money he sure makes a lot of it 
The Linux Foundation pays Linus around $1.5 million per year to support the software. The foundation has a $50 million operating budget to manage thousands of programmers worldwide who make around 80,000 code fixes and additions in a given year.

As recently confirmed in a report published earlier this month, Windows 10X development has been paused. With that, it is expected that the Sun Valley Update would deliver a major UI redesign with more features from the cancelled operating system. Rounded corners are the new icon?

I think they just realized that with rounded corners it is easier to bring up thing through your back entry...

If you work long hours every week, you may be increasing your risk of dying from a major cardiovascular event, according to the World Health Organization. It's not good for you? Wow, thanks WHO

I long ago concluded that working more than 50 hours a week is counter-productive. I wonder, however, if the types of jobs where long work hours are common/expected are stressful in other ways (such that the work hours themselves are the least part of the problem.)

What about 35? I think I am going that high at the moment...

That's what I have per contract 
I usually do a coupld of hours more per week, and then I do a couple of days shorter to compensate.

Keep your apps safe and secure with these development techniques. If you don't have it now, you'll need it shortly

And the example of secure software is [trumpet fanfare] using an exception to detect an illegal input.
Now, it is Java, and maybe that's the only way to do it. But there are already enough Java folks who don't give a rat's bottom about performance. Write once, crawl anywhere. At least they don't have to worry about buffer overruns, as far as I know.
But the code also catches any other exception, and writes it to the console!

Quote: The code above is secure because it performs exception handling
Wow, that's the dumbest thing I've heard in a while.
[HttpPost("DeleteTable")]
public object DeleteTable([FromBody] string tableName)
{
try
{
db.DeleteAllRecords(tableName);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
Debugger.WriteLine($"Oops {ex.Message}");
}
Look! My code is secure!

Your code is also missing a closing brace. 
The difficult we do right away...

I wouldn't compile/run so it's even more secure!

That's a better security feature than what the author writes about.

Latest GitLab survey finds one-year surge in automated aspects of DevOps. But is there a risk of over-automating? I'm sure there's a joke there about DevOps and intelligence, but my algorithm refuses to write it

But my algorithm doesn't. To wit: It's easy to automate mindless activities.

As developers, the ability to collaborate through video (for example, pair programming, demos, etc.) is an extremely important part of a software workflow, especially for communities and teams that are distributed. Your next pull request can have a trailer
